Good move for us in getting Watt out of the wage bill if we can replace in the squad. Shame it hasn't come together for him. He is probably one of the most naturally talented players we have on our books, it is so disappointing to see him waste his undoubted talent.
Surprised he isn't going back north of the border though.
It's a shame as I thought this might be a good year for Watt. The attacking line of three with their pace and interchanging seemed like it could suit him well. Saturday was not good, however, and it sounds like he was alright in the first half on Tuesday, less so the second.
He's 23 and if the move goes through this will be his 9th club. There's no secret that attitude and application are an issue. Hopefully a fresh start will help him get his feet under him. Given he had a hard time with homesickness in London I worry about him in Belgium, but perhaps he'll be able to move his family out there (he has two younger brothers who he seems very close to). If he moves on, best of luck to him. Don't think he's a bad guy necessarily, just misguided.
Tony watt will realise when he is too old and it's too late that he has wasted what should have been a brilliant career. I feel sorry for him in that respect

Sounds like a goodbye from Watt.
Says a lot when all he will be remembered for is keeping the ball by the corner flag for a couple of minutes.
That said, after his cameo substitute performance last Saturday I'm glad he's going.

In there is a real footballer one that on his day is a joy to watch
For me the biggest disappointment is that those days are few and far between.
In other words I'd rather watch someone with the skill he posses than a big lump that holds it up but couldn't go past a London bus.
Hope he does well.
